Well, I am ; not fully convinced it is, but what's the use of having a rating ; of a 10 if nothing ever makes it there. ; ; The image is yet another one in the same parent fractal that has ; supplied so many FOTD fractals over the past couple weeks or so. ; It's rare that such a harmless looking parent fractal turns out ; to hold so many unsuspected goodies. ; ; Today's half-and-half scene is located in a little cut-off ring- ; world near a large ring at the southeast extremity of the parent ; fractal. So far so good. But what makes the image a 50-50 one? ; ; The secret is the bailout radius. I have tweaked the bailout ; until the line that divides the all-there part from the half- ; evaporated part runs directly through the center of the frame. ; The left side of the image is normal equal-iteration-band stuff; ; the right side is half-evaporated, with the inside parts filled ; in by the 'zmag' option. ; ; While studying the image for a name, I noticed the hell-heaven ; contrast, and decided to name it "Inferno and Paradise". The ; rating of a 10 is based half on the artistic effect and half on ; the mathematical interest. I leave it to the individual fractal ; fan to judge if the image is truly worth the rating of an almost ; impossible to achieve 10. ; ; The calculation time of a brief 1-1/4 minutes on the P4-2000mhz ; machine will make the trip to the great fractal beyond quite a ; short one. On a P200mhz unit, the trip will take 7 minutes -- ; slower but more scenic. Another easy way to make the trip is to ; go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the completed GIF image there. ; ; The heat and humidity fell off a bit here at Fractal Central on ; Monday, but the 82F 28C was still oppressive, especially for ; those who must work outdoors. The fractal cats do their work ; indoors, so they do not worry about weather. ; ; With a 10-rated fractal, my day was good enough. Tomorrow will ; likely be much the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; In the unlikely event that it exceeds today's, I will have to ; expand the rating scale to 11. Until then, take care, and never ; abandon all hope, even if you find yourself hopping around on ; the coals of the inferno. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= InfernoAndParadise { ; time=0:01:14.92-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+11.19123687238325/-16.75458653288057/\ 17818.43/1/-147.5/8.86548195966341268e-010 params=-5.5/-1.4142/-1.1/-4/0/32750200000.0/0/0 float=y maxiter=550 inside=zmag periodicity=10 colors=000rzzLCzH7zE3zI7zMAzPEzTHzXLz_OzYRzWUzUXzS\ _zQbzOezMhzKkzImzLizOfzRczU_zXXz_UzbRzdNzgKzjHzmEz\ pAzs7zv4zx1z2AF6AFAAFEAFIAFMAFQAFUAEYAEaAEeADiBDmC\ DpDDqKIrQKwZKtaKuaKzhKzgKviKugKseKscKsaKr`Kr_JrZGq\ YEqXBqW9pV7pU4pT2pS0oV6oYCo_InbOndTngZmidmljmnohjl\ cfiZcfU_cQW`LTYGPVBLS7IP52z95zD7zH9zLCzPEzTGzXIz`L\ zdNzhPzlSzpUztWzwYzvVzuTztRzsPzsNzrKzqIzpGzoEzoCzn\ 9zm7zl5zk3zk1zmAznIzoRzqZzrgzsozqizpczoYznSzmMzlGz\ kAzj5z`6zPMzE`z3oz5kz6gz8cz9_zBWzCSzDPzCYzBezBgzQ1\ zSAzUJzWRzY_zK9zLAzLBzMCzNDzOEzOEzKHzHKzENzBQzDRzE\ RzFRzGRzHRzISzJSzKSzLSzMSzNTzOTzPTzQTzRTzSTzUVzVWz\ WXzXYzYZz`_zb`zd`zfazibzkbzmcz000qdzlbzh`zdZz`XzXV\ zTUzPSzLQzHOzDMz9Kz5Jz8HzAGzDFzFEzHDzKBzMAzO9zR8zT\ 7zV6zT5zS5zQ4zP4zN3zM3zK2zJ2zO8zTEzPDzMCzIBzFAzCAz\ B9zB9zB8zB8zB7zB7zB7zA6zA6zA5zA5zA4zA4zA4zF8zKBzPE\ zUIzZLzcOzhSzmVzrYzWQzSLz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
